This document summarizes new video conferencing capabilities in Lync Server 2013, including support for H.264 SVC/AVC up to 1080p HD, continuous presence for up to 5 users, HD photos, face detection and smart framing. It describes how Scalable Video Codec works with temporal and spatial scalability. Interoperability with legacy video is supported through SVC config modes. New conferencing policy cmdlets allow configuration of features like multi-view and total receive video bitrate.
